You screw the motherboard into the case via the screw holes.
You screw the powersupply,hard drives, and any other screwable items into the case.
You plug the power slots into anything that has one.
You plug the hard drive cables (the ones that are there when you open up the motherboard, they have three ends).
You make sure and read the installation manual that comes with the motherboard, and make sure you did everything correct.
Then you plug everything into the computer and the outlets and turn it on.
I'm assuming you want a great computer that will play games and other things, if you are building one.
